It’s difficult to speak of either Norma or George without also speaking of the other. Norma has now joined George to continue their lifetime mission of love and service. They raised five children—two daughters (Margaret and Marsha) and three sons (George, Merrill, and Robert) and taught them the principles of hard work and responsibility on the farm which Norma’s father homesteaded in the late 1800s. While Norma’s father had primarily raised horses and cattle, she and George added more acreage and raised wheat. Their sons carried on the family farm after they retired.

Always a teacher at heart, Norma continued her education after some of her children were married. She earned a master’s degree in Special Education. She taught for a number of years and was greatly loved by her students.

In their retirement years, George and Norma served for numerous years at the Logan Temple. George continued on after Norma had to retire due to health reasons.

George left this world on July 3, 1986, and Norma joined him eight years and three days later.
